Border Report from Granny Goose

Received via email:

I just received a phone call from "Granny Goose" and a report from the border.

Using his usual stealth and patience, he spent 6 to 8 in a "hide", last night.

At 2030 hrs. , 3 illegals were observed coming over the border, with out revealing his hide,
he made the call to the Border Patrol and they made the apprehensions.

Remaining in place, and continuing to observe,--- at 23:00 hrs., first , two spotters were observed, then they disappeared .


Then at 2310 hrs., 19 illegals came over the border, and started running as fast as they could , north toward an area it would be very difficult to find them in.


Near him, the group split into two elements, 10 moving west and , 9 moving to the east,
before turning north.

Granny Goose made the phone call to the Border Patrol.

At a time like that, time seems to drag,---- he called in the illegal groups location up dates
as long as he could see them.


Out of concern ,they might be lost, --- at a distance, he traveled in the same direction as
one of the groups.

They has quickly "gone to ground", and he lost visual contact..

Just then, 20 plus, Border Patrol Agents arrived in the area from all directions.

All 19 were located and captured !!!!

Interestingly, he was told later , out of the 10 moving west, 7 were women.

"It seemed, every one of the Border Patrol Agents thanked "Granny Goose" for his alert
and accurate reporting."

They really appreciate his quiet , clandestine , "behind the scenes" contribution he
is making to border security. ( Granny Goose didn't tell me that, Border Patrol have spoken of him, to me in the past)

From what they have told me, the, Agents consider "Granny Goose", a real American hero.

The Border Patrol being as spread out as they must be, were just not aware of this
illegal alien intrusion. These intrusions can take place over just a few minutes before they "go to ground" and not be seen again in the area.

If one is not alert and looking right at them, unobserved, they enter the U.S. with out
detection.

Clearly a good fence system, in connection with other actions our government must take,
would be a tremendous asset.

The Border Patrol is doing a really heroic job with the assets and situation they are in.

I have been in the same situation, where I was focused on high probability entry point ,(HPEP)
and only because I heard Spanish being spoken, NORTH of where I was (!!!)., I was shocked to see a group of 6 to 8 using maximum stealth ( except I heard them, so not THAT
much stealth !!! ) moving north , right near my vehicle !!!!!!! If I hadn't heard them, I would
have not known.


Fortunately, we were using more stealth than they were, and the they didn't know were there. !!!! That is apparently why they felt free to talk out loud.

Hard lesson learned: Maximum stealth, a really good "hide", have good field Intel as to HPEP and being very, very focused all the time.

Admittedly , very hard to do for extended periods. ( especially for me !!!! )
